The Apple and Samsung agreement is exclusive, so this is sure to increase the sale of the companies already popular smart televisions.

All new 2019 Samsung TV models will come with the iTunes app
installed, those who purchased a 2018 model will have to do a firmware
update.

privacy of its customers so Samsung’s ad tracking features will not be able to
track the viewing usage when the consumer is using the iTunes application.

Apple’s iTunes has music streaming competition, but they are wanting to gain some of the Netflix or Hulu market share and is even suggesting that they are going to get into the original video programming that these companies have become so famous for over the past few years.
